    Time for a new receiver

    X2 premium finally died after only 2 years. Took it apart and found 4 swollen capacitors in it. Replaced them and still no luck. Has power out of the power board but its gone. I havent even looked at new receivers until now. I dont need anything fancy, just one that will do S2 video, AC3 audio...

    GEOSATpro Is my MicroHD broken for good

    My microHD has decided to no longer properly work. When testing it this is what I have found 22K is stuck on, will not switch off. Verified with a new 22k switch and also with one of those satellite meters that have LEDs for 22K on/off and for 13/18 volts. Voltage is correct and works properly...

    Bad 22khz switch or bad receiver

    Either my MicroHD is in the process of dying or I have something really odd going on I had what seems to be a dead 8x1 diseqc switch, but today changed it out with a new 4x1 diseqc switch. It worked a short while then went to the point of only seeing H polarity and no V. Only one port was seen...

    Two motors on one receiver

    I finally got around to getting a new Vbox again for the C band dish, but it appears I am short on current to run two motors off the same system. It is set up as follows Rcvr->22K switch-> 22K off-> Vbox->C band LNBF and motor (Diseqc 1.2) -> 22K on -> 8x1 switch ->...

    S10 power supply

    Does anyone here have a good source for a replacement power supply? I tried to fix mine with a replacement IC but in the process trying to touch up the solder joints I happened to kill it. Apparently it had a bad capacitor, not the IC chip.

    Are these feedhorns the same?

    Having a real brain fart moment tonight CM .75 dish and CM 1.2M dish... Are the feedhorn assemblies the same for these dishes? I have the original for the .75 but I dont know if I can use the exact same for the 1.2 or would the "eye" on the feedhorn be larger for a larger dish? Looks like the...

    Dilema

    I have come across a 1.8 meter fiberglass dish that came off a chevy auto dealer that I was told I could get. It has the NPRM and the whole assembly is already on the ground in one piece due to a remodel. Everything is there, no damage at all to anything. All I have to do is unbolt it and take...

    Rescued a dish

    Saved a dish from the junk pile today. It came from a church, its a Sat Radar brand metal dish, measured 33"x37". Its been up long enough that the original lnb the plastic has dry rotted away and the dish itself starting to get a glaze of rust from the powder coating wearing off. Was used for...

    Motor finally up and working

    Took forever, but my H2H motor is finally up and running. The signal strength is a little lacking, but I think its because im using a 75e dish and there might be some trees in the way in the neighbors yard. On the openbox, im getting in the 60's on 72 and 70's on others to the west, but...

    SG9120B shaft

    I am in need of a new shaft for the motor above. The one I have was too small diameter wise and while trying to tighten a bolt to it, the shaft literally broke in three pieces. What size is the one that matches 2 3/8" OD pipe? 55mm?

    I know of one that might be available for the taking. I dont have anything available to get it, its at an old motel in Salem, IL. The motel has been closed for years and the dish looks in very good shape, no damage seen to it whatsoever. If anyone is interested, send me a PM and I can give you...

    Bought an SG9120B

    Bought an SG9120B to get one of my Ku dishes motorized. Looks as if I need to run the coax from the S10 to the motor then to the Diseqc switches according to the "manual" for the motor. Not 100% sure on how to get everything to talk, since I have a 22K switch, 8x1 and a 4x1 switch here. Am I...

    DMX-741 problem

    Got out and hooked it up this morning. According to the instructions, I want a separate line for ku and C. Ku is hooked into the end lnb, works fine for V and H. C band will only work of the 22K switch is set to off. NOTE - I have the internal 22k switch bypassed on the feedhorn since I have a...

    May try C/Ku LNBF

    With 99% of the analog channels gone, I have given serious thought into a C/Ku lnbf system to use 13/18v switching isntead of using a polorotor and the old C band remote to change polarity. Would perfer having a dedicated line to feed C and one for Ku, but the ones I have seen use 22k switching...

    99W and a 74e dish

    Tonight I tried my luck on putting a Primestar 74e dish on 99W. I can pull in the russian mux at 44%, but everything else is a bust. There are some that scan in as PSTN but they are around 32% and choppy. Cant get the NASA, AGHAPY, or CBS stuff. Was out for a few hours working on getting the...

    DA

    Think I need to look for a support group for "dishes anonomous." Even though I had to (forcefully) turn down a 6ft dish, I did happen to come across some baby 74e dishes that were abandoned and all alone :( In my travels as a cable guy, I have found a trailer park that has a number of them...
